This is a very fresh 1948-52 Ford Flathead V8 bellhousing, cast iron, #8RT-6392. I have had the bellhousing sandblasted to raw metal, then primered, then chased all the threaded holes, then added all new gold zinc plated bolts. This bellhousing can be used with almost any 1930's-1950's flathead V8 engine, but must be used with the matching starter plate that mounts the starter completely vertical (not on an angle), starter plate #8RT-6366-A.
